V2 Grader Summary

The agent identified the recurring internet drop issue, referenced prior case history, and initiated an appropriate escalation to Level 2 after a partial troubleshooting attempt. Despite communication flaws and initial policy misstatement, the agent demonstrated ownership and followed through with a valid escalation path, resulting in an Appropriate Escalation outcome.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer (LN1100, serial 60C10M) reports intermittent internet drops and inability to access http://myrouter.local. Agent misstated warranty status, provided incorrect URL syntax (myrouter.info), performed no basic troubleshooting, and escalated to Level 2 with callback promised.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Verified serial number (60C10M)
  • Attempted to guide customer to type http://myrouter.local in the address bar (with incorrect syntax and wrong alternative URL myrouter.info)
  • Asked if a computer was connected to the router
Key Observations
  • Agent initially misstated warranty status as expired (2024 start date) but later corrected to in-warranty after customer clarified purchase in September 2025
  • Provided factually wrong URL syntax: suggested 'myrouter.info' for LN1100 (valid only for SPNM6x series per KB)
  • Failed to perform standard troubleshooting steps (reboot, LED check, firmware status, network topology confirmation) before escalation
  • Repeatedly placed customer on hold without progress, contributing to poor efficiency
  • Did not clarify the difference between address bar and search bar until late in the call, despite this being a common issue
Positive Highlights
  • Verified serial number and attempted to confirm warranty status
  • Escalated to Level 2 support and set a clear expectation for a callback within 2–3 hours
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Incorrectly stated the device was out of warranty initially — transcript confirms purchase in September 2025 (in warranty)
  • Provided factually wrong URL syntax: suggested 'myrouter.info' for LN1100, which contradicts KB guidance (LN1100 uses 'myrouter.local')
  • Failed to perform basic troubleshooting: no power cycle, no LED status check, no firmware version verification
  • Repeatedly placed customer on hold without progress, leading to long silences and poor call flow
  • Did not confirm the customer was using the correct browser address bar versus search bar until after multiple failures

O2 Partially Met Proactive follow-through conf 83%
Agent provided a next step (callback from Level 2) and timeline (2–3 hours), though earlier mentioned 24–48 hours, creating minor inconsistency.
O3 Met Closure confirmation conf 85%
Agent referenced prior contact on September 10, 2025, and used it to justify troubleshooting, showing effective use of case continuity.

And also, um, let me just, um, run some verification with your Linksys router. Um, the serial number of your Linksys router is 6 0 C 10 M.
05:00
Speaker 1
how much or so? I've called I've called ever since I've had it. I've had problems with it. Well, I didn't I didn't know it was going to have to have I don't have the receipt with me. Sir? No, I I said it's been about six months. That's the best I can give you right now, unless I can go. Ghghgh. Jaggh.
07:00
Speaker 2
I've checked here. I've checked here. And I need to verify first when did you purchase this router? Yeah. But the exact date you purchased this router. But can you still remember? Can you still remember when did you purchase this one?
07:00
Speaker 1
I registered it when I bought it.
08:00
Speaker 2
Oh, it's been six months. Okay. I'm checking here the information of the serial number and um I'm still pulling up the you know, the the attached photo here. Yeah, yeah, that's actually what I'm checking right now. 'cause what's uh indicated here on the record is that um the start date of the warranty is way back 2024, which technically would make your router already out of warranty. But yeah, you've mentioned that you just had this like six months ago.
08:00
Speaker 1
I bought it in 24. I'm not I'm not disputing it. I just don't remember the date. What I'm saying is that I've had problems with this thing since day one. Continually it drops the internet. Uh, I have to reset this thing constantly. And I've niece that's got one of these and she don't have any problem with it. So I'm I don't know what you know, y'all got records where I've called and complained about it before. [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
Oh. yeah, cuz it's, um, just, uh, bear with me. Mmhmm. You don't need to, I've created already airway. Mmhmm. All you need to do is just plug in. You need to refresh the page. Mmm. And you had a, um, reconfiguration done with your router previously. Mmhmm.
09:00
Speaker 1
Yes same issue. It. It doesn't change. I I may get a day. I may get two days before it drops and then it'll start dropping it again. And I've got to reset everything and go through the whole thing over and over again.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, sir. okay, sir. okay, um, is it the same issue you've um, raised way back when you called us in, yeah. you need to pick up the phone. oh, okay. Okay. Okay, sir. um, what else did you do aside from resetting it? [silence]
10:00
Speaker 1
Hello. I'm here. [silence] Well, you unplug the modem. [silence] And you unplug the router. [silence] And you unplug the keyboard and then you wait 15 minutes [silence] then you go back and you start plugging everything back up and letting it boot back up. [silence] And then you wait for an hour before you get anything totally completely booted back up. [silence] And I'm just getting frustrated with it. [silence]
11:00
Speaker 2
Well, both devices are blinking now. Hello? Yes, Sir Danny. Yeah. Aside from resetting it, what have you done so far? Give it at least a maximum of five minutes. It doesn't [silence] Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Mhm. Yes, I totally understand where you come [silence] coming from, you know, considering that the issue keeps on appearing since you've mentioned since day one, which technically is really a burden. So here's the thing, Sir Donnie. Based on the record, it's as what I've mentioned earlier, it indicates here that start date of the warranty is 2024 and for this specific model, sir, it only has like a one-year warranty. Unfortunately, for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone. However, if you can provide us like the receipt or the invoice you had when you purchased this router, for us to validate the exact
11:00
Speaker 1
Okay. So you basically, you're telling me that I bought a bad one. And I'm screwed. Okay. I told y'all before and explained about this, it would be different. But I have told you over and over again, I'm having problems with this thing. Y'all can't fix it. [silence]
13:00
Speaker 2
date that you purchased this one because we also cannot neglect the fact that you've mentioned it was six months ago, so that we can verify it and validate the warranty and change it here so that we can help you with troubleshooting without the paid connect service. Uh, not that I meant it's a bad one. What I meant is that based on our record here, the device is already out of warranty. So for out of warranty devices, we no longer provide a free troubleshooting assistance over the phone.
13:00
Speaker 1
Well I just need to go buy a different
14:00
Speaker 2
uh yes sir we we're going to help you with uh reconfiguration but then again the device is already uh uh out of warranty based on our system that's why we need to validate it because um we uh we are unable to pull up the photo that you uh you attach when you register the device uh we you know sir donny oh we uh we respect your uh decision so you turn on one and then wait for it to become blue before you proceed to the last cell or to the second one can we do that now yes correct hello sir okay so uh... i actually did reviewed your uh... record here and the first time you reached out to us, it was way back, uh, September 10th of 2025 and you've mentioned that you bought it, like, um, on September of 2025, which is still within the warranty if you're going to, um, trace it back the last, I mean, the first time you reached out to us. So, yeah, um, okay, uh, here's what I'm going to do. Um, we're going to proceed with the troubleshooting. However, um, if we found out that the device is, uh, indeed having an issue, but technically, since you've already reached out to us a couple of times with the same issue, we probably need to, have this further checked with our, level
14:00
Speaker 1
Well, I might as well hang up and go look for a receipt because we're not going to get no further with this until I do. Who's that? I'll tell 'em. I'll go see if I can find the receipt. Who's it from? Probably Amazon. Okay. Okay. Thank you.
17:00
Speaker 2
well for level two tech, but uh, in order for us to do that, we need to, you know, the, to validate it with the receipt. So, for now, um, can I put you on hold for at least two to three minutes and have this discussed with our level two tech? Okay. Uh, no worries, sir. Uh, let me just put you on hold, okay? And I'll get back to you. Just stay on the line. [silence] Hello, hello, sir. Uh, let me just put you on hold, okay? I'll be back. All right.

I mean, they might be able to help you with accessing the web user interface. Yeah, it should automatically route you to the login page if you have a, properly, I mean, if you be able to get to the link. So, the agent will just ask you for the first name, last name, and then the phone numbers of yours, you know, then, and then, then, then, I mean, that's how they will authenticate the caller identity.
